Well, it sounds like you got Google Play to work (not sure how one "Boots up an app!" :) But you still can't see Gmail. I would reinstall Gmall from the play store for that... Also, there is an add-in for Google Music that kicks in once you use or select any music (At least I recall that -I rarely use G music), maybe that will cause the music icon to show.

Also, not sure about the ES File explorer view. I use Root Explorer and while I have used ES in the past, I don't now. Anyway, the default launcher should show you the google apps and (frankly) everything else you've got installed.

Perhaps it is something to do with the settings or the version or even the location for ES FIle explorer. . . I am sure that the Rom delivers up all apps in the default launcher -and I have used/installed Kinology twice at different times and both times (including right now) it worked without issue!

Sometimes apps that need to be located in /system/apps may be problematic if they are not, but overall you should have no problem -at least in the default launcher-- finding and starting apps.

Good Luck! :cowboy:

Still the best rom for the Fire HD. Thanks and keep up the amazing work!

Using this rom right now! It works perfectly! Thanks for all the great work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Earthkeeper:
Thank you for this awesome rom. The higher display density is nice, but my dad has bad eyesight and he wants to revert back to the lower (larger text) density. How do I change that?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JulianPaoloThiry:
You can use a DPI changer app from Play Store, such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innodroid.dpichanger.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Earthkeeper:
Thanks for the tip. Do you know what is the original DPI that the KFHD-7" use?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JulianPaoloThiry:
Yes, it's 240. Kinology uses 200.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Opensystem:
I apologize if this question has been answered, but does anyone running kinology know if it has unlocked the ability to use OTG cables for flash memory additions?

Appreciate any help/ answers on the subject any one would be able to give:)

Ps thanks for this genius rom, I can see it getting quite a lot of use for those tied to amazon. Simply incredible the developers on here!

Kindle Won't Boot Up After Flash

Before I flashed everything, I wiped cache, dalvik, system and then factory reset. Then I flashed everything in order. Now the KFHD7 is stuck at the BLUE Kindle Fire logo. Any way to fix this?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bryanchapman9999:
Did you do step0 ?

I've had no luck with this, always leaves me with a boot loop.

Assuming you took a backup of stock from recovery - restore it.

Boot up once, then go back to recovery. Wipe as before and install in order, omitting step0

Hope that helps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] AJ Bryant:
I actually didn't backup because I expected this to work. Also, I flashed everything except the first .zip because I already had a custom recovery installed. Any other suggestions? How do I boot into recovery

Recently rooted and installed Hashcode 2nd bootloader and TWRP with stock 7.4.3. on KFHD 7

I have downloaded 5 Kinology files 1a,1b,1c, 2 & 3. Do I need to download preparation files 0 as well? Also, do I need to wipe before I flash files?

Anyone got a guide please?

Regards

fs1023
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
You do not need to wipe, unless you are on CyanogenMod. If you want to wipe, however, just download the preparation "0" step file. Reboot to recovery (It will take quite a while). When in recovery, go to install, then go to where you downloaded the files (Most likely /sdcard/Downloads). Flash them in numerical order. If you want to wipe, hit step0.zip then hit add more files then hit step1a.zip then hit add more files then hit step1b.zip.... Yadda yadda yadda, until you're done.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
I am not sure if having 7.4.3 will be an issue, perhaps psych0phobia could comment, but I don't think it will be a problem since you are using TWRP. Also I agree with -a- the process is straightforward and the OP is clear on what to do & when!

However, I would add that in my experience it is better to wipe/flash the "0" file as well. I have installed Kinology both with and without wiping/flashing the 0 file -and it seemed to be a better install (cleaner and no quirks or unexpected reactions) when I installed using the wiping all old files option. Anyway, I think that option actually saves your data to another directory (but I could be mistaken -it's been a while since I have installed!) :)

Good Luck! you'll love Kinology (especially if you use the Amazon ecosystem -books, videos, etc.)

:cowboy:

P.S. use TWRP and do a backup of your current ROM -it is a very valuable step and will save you tons a trouble later on!

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

I think I once or twice did the same ("this is going to work, so I don't need to backup") unfortunately, it's exactly those times that things go south :(

One recommendation -and sorry if this is obvious, or you have already done it; but when you see the blue screen for Amazon Kindle Fire (switching from the normal red letters), are you pressing/holding the volume up button? That is the one closest to the ear phone jack and the corner of the KFTT. That is the way to go from normal boot to recovery. . . .

You need to hold it or continue to press it for a while -and it takes a while to switch into TWRP. . .

Good Luck!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] AJ Bryant:
Actually the problem was that I didn't flash the first .zip which was ....0a.zip. Even though o deleted all my internal data, i was able to sideload. Inside TWRP i went to adb sideload and on my pc I put the ....0a.zip inside the platform-tools folder. Then i opened the command prompt there and typed adb sideload ....0a.zip. Lastly, I flashed every zip file in order. I thought I didnt need that file because I already had a custom recovery installed. I clearly read wrong. Thanks for the suggestions though!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hinzman420:

Hi, I installed kinology today, but would like to delete some stock kindle apps (such as amazon kindle, amazon mp3, amazon video, appstore, silk, kindleStoreWebApp?, and stock keyboard etc).

How could I uninstall/delete these apps? The main purpose would be to stop these unused apps from taking up memory; I only have about 300mb free.

(Previous posts under this thread has mentioned trying to delete appropriate apk's from /system/app, that post was to replace unified search with google search, but I'm not sure how relevant that is, thanks)

(Also, since kinology is based on amazon OS, I didn't want to delete stock apps whose absence would brick the kindle)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] maelstrom2001:
You can freeze or completely uninstall them with Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] watermii:
Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bigfoot.kom:
Hello. I have flashed your rom to my kindle. It works great! Thank you! As for the ota? Upon flash is it pre-disabled? Im sorry if I misunderstood it in the op. Thank you!

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
watermii question: How could I uninstall/delete these apps?

maelstrom2001 reply: You can freeze or completely uninstall them with Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup . . .

- - - - - - - - -

I thought the questioner sought to remove these apps because he was running low on space.

Freezing the apps, would remove them from being used, but I don't think that it would delete them from the machine. . .

-wouldn't they still take up the space on the disk? :confused:

(Actually, as much as I love & use Kinology myself, if one were getting rid of all the Amazon apps, it might be better to look at the CM10.1 roms that have been published here on the development thread.):confused:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JulianPaoloThiry:
Deleting system apps has zero impact on disk space. The system partition is read only and does not factor in to user data. Freezing system apps is much safer, as you can bring them back if needed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
Thanks! I had forgotten that system partition is a different space from the data space. However, "read only" would not be an issue for us since we have root. {I have correctly (and mistakenly :eek:) deleted system apps before :victory:.}}

Also, I do agree with you that freezing is a great technique (I am doing it now using TIBU & also using Greenify's hibernation mode for apps on my S4)!

But I think the issue for watermil was space, not using/not using the apps.

Frankly, I think he might check out Hashcode's rom -especially since watermil does not seem to be using the Amazon "ecosystem," or at least is not very concerned about not having the Amazon apps available. . . And this gets back to the real question of his post --how to get more space?

So which rom provides more user-data space? I have not compared the roms. I have used both (Kinology) and Hashcode's rom, but never checked to see what kind of data space I had available to me. . . Good question!

(For me the question is answered since I use Amazon "stuff" quite a bit and no other rom for the KFTT keeps all the Amazon perks open and available like KINOLOGY! A better approach to a good product :good::)

EDIT: I think I am wrong! :(

I re-read the original post and I think watermil was talking about available ram vice storage

memory -it is a bit ambiguous to me. If he needs ram then freezing apps is 100% solution,

but if its storage for content or even apps, then the point I made is relevant.

Reboot into TWRP Recovery

Select the part1 zip file

Choose "Add More Zips"

Select the next part zip file

... repeat steps 5 and 6 for each of the zips, in order

Swipe to Confirm Flash

Choose "Reboot System"

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JulianPaoloThiry:
Yeah, now that Kinology 3 has no drawbacks over Kinology 2, we can probably lock this thread. Anyone know how to go about that?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] markbc01:
I think you just ask the mods to do that . . . lock the thread? But maybe psych0phobia might need to do that since it was his thread as OP. . .

Also, since the Mods are few and the posts are many you might have to draw their attention to your request to lock the thread by flagging your post requesting to do so. (press the red triangle near the Twitter /Facebook G+ icons). ..they would eventually see the post anyway, but that might make it more effective.

It would not be bad to lock this thread, I actually started to post here when I meant to post to your 3.0 (oops!) 3.1 thread! :victory:

Since psych0phobia already mentioned he is stepping back from the XDA project, and now that flash works in both, 99% will likely switch and the remaining 1% won't really have anything to ask about -or anyone (psych0phobia) to answer. . . locking it is not a bad idea. . .

Go to settings and tap the about tablet option (way at the bottom) 6 times. Now go into developer options and the third option down says advanced reboot, unchecked it. Unless it's baked into the ROM this should fix your issue.

You sir, Are amazing!

Reasons Why i LOVE this rom:

1- The boot animation is simply stunning

2-Changing the dpi made almost every app look different, better and more productive (like in google chrome i can now easily switch tabs with 1 touch)

3-Google apps work!! (always had problems getting most of them to work specially google talk)

4- Accessibility, Data usage, Battery info, Power Usage Info are super useful

5-Developer options seems useful, even though there are some that needs more explanation :)

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
I've been mucking around with various settings in the keyboard app and haven't found anything else workable. There may be a code solution, but that will have to be back-burner for now.

Unfortunately, the setting to get that layout changes the margin on both sides of the keyboard. I couldn't find one that would move only the right side (doesn't mean it doesn't exist, of course).

I have added these two to my device using the links you provided. Quite frankly, I'm not sure what the difference is? Bravia looks like a camera sharpness filter, and xLoud seems to be for making the sound.... louder? I was personally already surprised by the loudness of the default Kindle - even its quietest setting is far louder than, say, my phone's. After installing xLoud, I can't hear any difference.

Please do let me know if I'm just misinterpreting these two addons (I was not familiar with them previously).
